Abstract
1321646 Anodizing zirconium alloy cladding INSTITUTT FOR ATOMENERGI 3 July 1970 [5 July 1969 24 Dec 1969] 32385/70 Headings C7A and C7B] Zr-base cladding material for fuel elements e.g. of VO 2 or other components for nuclear reactors is surface-treated by pickling in an aqueous fluoride-containing bath, e.g. an aqueous solution of HNO 3 and HF or NH 4 F removing or rendering harmless fluoride-containing contaminants remaining on the surface of the material by anodic oxidation, and oxidizing to apply a protective coating, e.g. by treatment with water or steam under 100 atmosphere pressure and at 400‹ C., by heating in O 2 gas or by anodic oxidation. The removal or rendering harmless of fluoride-containing contaminants and the oxidation to apply a protective coating, by anodic oxidation, may be effected in one step, e.g. in an agitated bath containing a 0À01-0À5 molar solution of alkaline electrolyte, preferably 0À1-2À0 weight per cent KoH in water, at a voltage increasing at a rate not more than 10VS to a final voltage at least 30V which is maintained until the current is constant. The anode connector metal may be the same as the anode (Zr) and the cathode may be of Pt group metal or alloy. Anodic oxidation of Zr may be effected in an electrolyte containing 0À5-3% of HNO 3 , HCl, H 2 SO 4 , H 3 PO 4 , formic or acetic acid, Na NO 3 , K 2 Cr 2 O 7 , H 2 CrO 4 , citric or tartaric acid, NH 4 -tartrate or citrate Œ NH 3 , NH 4 OH, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, EDTA + NH 3 , NaNO 2 , NaB 4 O 7 , K 2 CO 3 , Ca (OH) 2 , Ba (OH) 2 , Na 2 HPO 4 , Na 3 PO 4 , K 2 SO 3 , K 2 SO 4 , or Na 2 SO 4 . Zr base alloys are specified containing: (a) 1À52-1À54% Sn, 0À13-0À20% Fe, 0À09% Cr, 0À006-0À05% Ni, (b) 1À0% Cr, 0À16% Fe; (c) 2À5% Nb, 0À5% Ta; (d) 0À7% V, 0À75% Fe; (e) 1À2% Cu, 0À3% Fe; and (f) 0À2% Sn, 0À09% Fe, 0À07% Ni, 0À14% Nb.
